    Wondering how I’m going to stream Overwatch at 8:30 est if there’s an ongoing error 🙃

  • KadenAlexVO Kaden Alexander (@KadenAlexVO) reported

    Stream is a mess of technical issues but somehow none of them are issues with the stream itself. Overwatch 2 has server issues and black ops was having performance problems. Weird day

  • Sailor_Richie Sailor Richie (@Sailor_Richie) reported

    Why is it giving me so many errors trying to join games in overwatch?? Why is this game having so many difficulties when it’s technically been out since 2016 🙃

  • RoseBud2568 Rose Bud (@RoseBud2568) reported

    @BlizzardCS Just for anyone complaining about Overwatch 2 not working properly. "Overwatch 2 is free-to-play on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S in early access on October 4" The game is in early access, meaning it's not fully out yet!
